Chocolate Chip Waffles

Chocolate chip pancakes never did agree with me. The first time I had them was at a slumber party in elementary school. They were too sweet and too much like dessert to a kid whose palate was accustomed to Cheerios and shredded wheat. YEARS later, in present day, I’ve discovered chocolate chip waffles. DUUUUDE. Where have they been all my life?! Let me tell you now, chocolate chip waffles are infinitely better than chocolate chip pancakes. For one, they are crispy! Eat them right out of the waffle iron; you don’t even need no butter, no syrup. Just eat them while they’re super crunchy outside and soft and melty and chocolatey inside. I guess that’s it. The crispiness wins over everything.

This is more reasonable. Dessert for breakfast, or breakfast for dessert?

Of course, you can always serve these for dessert, too. Perhaps with a scoop of ice cream or a spoonful of chocolate syrup or even Nutella. Myself, I’d go for the ice cream since ice cream is generally the answer to all my problems, no matter how trifling. I inherited that from my grandmother.

For some reason, chocolate chip waffles had never occurred to me, but why not? These look great! I wanted to say too, that I really appreciate how you often suggest alternatives or substitutions to ingredients in your recipes…especially in this one, since I am allergic to bananas! 😀

Good luck, Bill! If you do, be sure to share! Have you tried those paleo “pancakes” that have been going around the web? Just banana and egg. Sounds kind of unappealing to me, but several people swear they’re good!
